This annual event is a campus-wide celebration of the value of international education and global exchange, reflecting Bates’ commitment to preparing students for an interconnected world. International Education is about expanding horizons, making connections, and establishing mutual understanding between countries, people and cultures. We can do that by exploring through all of the different opportunities our campus offers to engage in learning through a global lens.

Celebrating Your Journey: Letters from International Alumni.

In the spirit of lifting each other up, we are excited to share letters from International alumni with you. These letters provide meaningful insights and important lessons, especially for International Bobcats, from International Bobcats (though we’re sure the lessons will resonate with many others). 

With ardor and devotion — Amore ac Studio —
we engage the transformative power of our differences

What does International Education Mean to You?
